First he said he flung the deceased, the covertel over knocked the axe away from him, covered, the axe with the coverlet and then snatched the axe away. As a result of this, Mr. Fraser said he could not carry on with his cross-examination, as he felt the witness was unreliable.
This concluded the case for the defence.
Continuing, counsel said the defence did not rely on the denial of the net but upon the state' of mind of the prisoner at the time he committed the crime.
Accused had stated that he felt he was being persecuted, and this story had been substantiated, to n certain extent, by the witnesses for the Crown. In this connec tion, counsel paid a tribute to the way in which the prosecution was conducted, by helping the defence in every way possible.

WHY KNEE-ACTION WHEELS?
HERE ARE THE FACTS ON CHEVROLET KNEE-ACTION
Each front wheel is independently sprung, "stepping Knee Action over" bumps with easy riding action. wheels make the back seat as restful as the front, climinating "back seat pitch."
The Chevrolet type of Knee Action is much safer: permitting faster speeds on rough roads and preventing the car from "swaying" or "skidding."
Water, ice and stones cannot affect Chevrolet's Knce Action. Chevrolet Knee-Action permits the wheels move straight up and down, preventing "tyre scrubbing" and giving longer tyre life.
